AEW signs 74-year-old wrestling legend to multi-year deal

Ric Flair has signed a multi-year deal with AEW. Flair made his debut appearance on a recent episode of Dynamite, where he joined the soon-to-be-retired Sting for a promo segment. AEW announced Flair's contract via a press release on Thursday. 

In an interview with Pro Wrestling Insider, Flair noted how he doesn't think he will wrestle during his tenure with AEW. However, he also didn't rule the idea out. 

"No, I don't think I will," Flair said. "If you're asking me if I want to? I have to be careful what I say because it never comes out (the right way). I just made it very clear to everybody that I can take bumps. I have a doctor's release to do anything I want like that. Do I think I'll wrestle again? No. Would I like to? Obviously. I'm never going to say no."

Instead, Flair will likely take an on-screen role during promotional segments and have an input into the company's creative strategy. Flair brings over 50 years of experience with him to AEW. He has been part of WCW, WWF, NJPW and WWE. There isn't much he hasn't seen or done in his career.
